Famous quotes containing the words british and/or television:

    “Like the British Constitution, she owes her success in practice to her inconsistencies in principle.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.”
    —New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
